Benefit They're Real! Mascara

A few posts ago I declared my love for the Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Mascara, and I was pretty sure I'd never need another mascara ever again! Then I got this mini They're Real! mascara as part of the Benefit Upgrade to Gorgeous gift set and after reading more and more raving reviews I would be a very bad and silly blogger if I didn't give it a go.





These were my results! The lashes clearly are looking a lot thicker, seperated and I was really impressed by how much longer they look. I also noticed the lack of black speckles which I have previously experienced forming underneath my eyes from flaky mascara throughout the day. The marketing point Benefit have clearly focused on is how this mascara looks as if you could be wearing false eyelashes, I'd say this definitely achieves this, I'm super impressed!

If I was to choose between my previous love of the Soap and Glory mascara however, I think I would still choose S&G purely because of the bristle brush. I don't know what it is about these plastic brushes that I don't like - I just much prefer the old school ones! I do like how this particular brush has the bristles on the tip of the brush though, it makes getting those little lashes in the corner of your eye a lot easier!

Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Super Volume Mascara

..... and 'Super Volume' it most certainly is! I love this mascara because it creates maximum effect with little effort. I'm one of those girls who loves big thick eyelashes (obviously not the clumpy kind) and if I can get away without wearing falsies then I am sold!



That is a picture of before and after two coats (close ups.......EEK!) I think this mascara creates quite a dramatic effect really easily, it thickens and lengthens the lashes without being clumpy and it stays put all day long! I also prefer this kind of brush to the plastic ones you sometimes get now, they just don't seem to do it for me.

I got mine as part of the 'The Best of All' gift set but you can get it online here, I'm not sure if the £3 off offer is also available in store?

This is the first S&G make up product I have tried and I am really impressed, I will definitely be looking into more of the range.
